Introducing
ColorRoll™ Technology by ColorMaker Inc.
What is ColorRoll ?
ColorRoll is a technology developed by ColorMaker Inc. to operate on the ColorMaker line of wireless
LED fi xtures. When activated a colletion of colors are transmitted to the fi xture by a remote. Once the
fi xture receives the packet of data which takes less that 1 second the fi xture will start rolling throught
the colors fading from one color to the next with fl icker free transition. This is an endless loop when the
last color is reached the process starts over to the fi rst color. Once the ColorRoll has started the Fade
Time from color to color can be controled from 15 seconds to 5 minutes for each color. The fi xture will
operate completely independant of the transmitter until it receives a singal to terminate. Custom colors are
programmed and saved in the remote. There are 3 buttons marked ColorRoll 1, ColorRoll 2 and ColorRoll
3 witch are used for the ColorRoll featture.
How many Colors are there?
If we do the math there are 16 million colors. there are 255 levels for each color with 3 Colors. which totals
255 X 255 X 255 = 16,000,000
Where do I get the colors for a ColorRoll ?
Creating a ColorRoll is the same as creating a scene with a few minor adjustments. When a scene is
created using all 10 fi xtures Q1 through Q10 this represents the 10 colors in a ColorRoll. The color setting
for Q1 will be the fi rst color in the ColorRoll and Q10 will be the last color in the ColorRoll. If you dont have
10 fi xtures then you can use the digital display to set the RGB values. The remote does not know if you
are using fi xtures.
How to create a ColorRoll using 10 colors
1) The fi rst step is to chose the fi rst color in the ColorRoll by selecting Q1 and then set the color. Do this
through Q10.
2) With all 10 colors set press and release the REC key in the yellow Scene Control box. The display will
read REC.
3) Now select where you want to store the ColorRoll pattern. Your options are ColorRoll 1, ColorRoll 2 or
ColorRoll 3.
4) once you have made your selection the display will return to the last selected fi xutre and the ColorRoll
has been saved.
And you thought is was going to be diffi cult! Well were not done yet.
Lets do a ColorRoll with only 3 colors, Red, Green and Blue.
1) The fi rst step is to chose the fi rst color in the ColorRoll by selecting Q1 and then set the color. Do this
through Q3 since we only want 3 colors.
This is the confusing part so stay focused.
The ColorRoll knows you have 3 colors Red, Green and Blue. But it does not know wheather you intended
the 4th color which if OFF to be part of the ColorRoll pattern. Well its been programmed to assume Yes
its part of the pattern. So now your ColorRoll looks like Red, Green, Blue and OFF. So if you played this
ColorRoll pattern back it will look like a dead spot in your program.
Stay Focused …
